Chapter 46 Abnormal
Jerry Hogarth is a fledgling lawyer, not a sociologist. From her perspective, she cannot see that the country under her feet is rapidly entering the age of aging. She did not pay attention to this issue, but she is a highly educated person after all. The people who have enough vision, and after in-depth investigation, realize that once the pension issue is detonated, it will be a social problem.
This will attract everyone's attention, up to the judge, down to the cleaners in the courthouse, no one cares about their pension issues, the more people who pay attention, the more famous she is, it doesn't matter whether she wins or loses, of course, It's better to win.
After her remarks, the judge and the clerk did not change anything, but those social people on the jury had already moved.
Next, the defendant's lawyer spoke, and the other party's answer was very official.
What needs to be handled with discretion and what needs time to be re-examined, the plaintiff's allegation is completely denied, and it is exceptionally firm that it is not wrong.
Jerry Hogarth, as usual, asked the defendant's client a lot of questions.
"Be careful, try to be cautious in your answer."
Next, it is time for the defendant's lawyer to question Bella, the plaintiff's client, Jerry Hogarth whispered.
In fact, she didn't have a clue. Bella was too young, and she was too young. If she was dealing with an ordinary enterprise, it was almost impossible to lose this case.
But what is Stark Industries? Multinational group! There are hundreds of lawyers in the legal department of the group, who fight lawsuits all over the world every day. Even several law school professors that Jerry Hogarth knows are providing legal advice to Stark Industries. They are familiar with the laws of various countries in the world. , If you can say that black is white, then the combat power is not generally strong.
She was a little clueless about Bella's resilience, but at this time she could only wait for the other party to make a move.
The defendant's lawyer was tall and thin, with a good temperament, well-dressed, and the face of a white elite.
He has fought similar lawsuits too many times, and he doesn't really care about the rookie combination of Bella Hogarth. Just a few simple language traps can put the other party into it.
He tidied up the cufflinks on his sleeve, stood up, and walked over to the plaintiff's side: "I want to ask the plaintiff's client a few questions, you..."
He was greeted by a pair of dazzling eyes. There were so many emotions in his eyes that he could not distinguish carefully. At a certain moment, he even thought that he had seen God, and everything was so sacred! With such a righteous look, can he slander him out of thin air?
When the words came to his mouth, he directly stuck, you, you for a long time, after the bearded judge also showed a puzzled expression, he stammered and asked, "You...you didn't lie?"
Bella was particularly calm: "I didn't lie."
The bearded judge almost threw the hammer out of his hand, what the hell! A three-year-old child will not answer this question truthfully!
The members of the jury were also a little confused. Such an honest defendant lawyer is a rare encounter in a thousand years!
The defendant's lawyer also knew that he asked a stupid question, and he desperately told himself to calm down, to calm down, and to try to adjust his state back.
Obviously there is a problem, but his mouth is not up to expectations: "What's your age?"
"Seventeen."
"Oh...you're young, it's nice to be young...that, that, you didn't get paid when you complained?"
"Of course there will be no remuneration, not a penny, just out of public interest."
"It's good, it's good... That, that one wasn't bewitched or instigated by anyone, right?"
Bella looked righteous: "Of course not!"
This way of questioning made the bearded judge and the two clerks collectively dumbfounded. It is the first time they have seen such a harmonious defendant lawyer and plaintiff client after working in the industry for so many years! what is this? This is the victory of the rule of law construction,
This is the brilliance of human nature!
The defendant's client was stunned.
What about splashing dirty water? Power and money transactions, power and sex transactions can be asked! Ask if there is a man behind the scenes and how much they charged the other party! First muddy the water and nail the opponent to the pillar of moral shame!
No matter what was shocking, the client of the defendant stood up and shouted when his lawyer asked the client of the plaintiff, "Your Majesty, I object!"
The bearded judge also wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, you objected. If you don't, I'll have someone take out your lawyer!
What the hell are you asking?
Whether to eat or not, not happy in school, which university are you going to go to? Are these questions supposed to be asked in court?
The bearded judge has already passed the sanctified age of the law. He has seen too many things and too many people in the courtroom. Today's situation is a bit strange, but it is still within the range of understanding. He and Hogarth lawyer each took two glances.
There was an inexplicable look in Bella's eyes, and at first glance, she was an upright and selfless person!
Looking at Miss Hogarth again, she can't say that she is bad in appearance, but the sharpness between her eyebrows and the stubbornness at the corners of her mouth all show that this person is very strong and will do anything to achieve her goals.
The bearded judge came to his own conclusion, this female lawyer is cruel enough! She must have secretly grabbed some clues from the opponent's lawyer, which is why this funny scene appeared in the courtroom.
He doesn't care whether the defendant's lawyer makes a fool of himself or loses his job, but he must maintain order in the courtroom.
"Bang Bang" struck the hammer twice in a row, signaling the defendant's lawyer to go back to his seat.
Mechanically returning to his seat, the defendant's lawyer was suddenly taken aback, God! What was I doing just now? where am I? who I am?
He subconsciously glanced at Bella again, confused, hesitant, and joyful, until he showed the expression of licking a dog. In less than three seconds, Bella turned her head and stopped looking at him, and he withdrew his gaze angrily.
"Alas..." He sighed, attracting glares from the defendant's client.
Are you from my side? The middle-aged man whose actual title is the assistant manager of Stark Industries' Phoenix branch is full of anger.
His response was also very fast, and he also came to the conclusion that his own lawyer was secretly threatened by the other party. This kind of thing is not new in the courtroom. Today is not the first case, nor will it be the last case.
Covering his heart, he stood up tremblingly, saying that he had the disease that he would die if he didn't adjourn the court today!
The bearded judge was so happy to pretend to be confused, and immediately dropped the hammer and adjourned the court!
"how did you do it?"
Coming out of the courtroom, Jerry Hogarth couldn't help but ask Bella in a low voice.
Immediately, she said as if asking herself, "Did you have some evidence of the defendant's lawyer? That's why he reacted abnormally?"
